girls in the gym

Oh look, it's this thread again.

How about if you have the time to worry about what OTHER people are doing in the gym, YOU'RE not working hard enough.

Mind your own business and worry about yourself. :noway:

For real. I didn't realize there was a requirement to look like *kitten* before even entering the gym. I come right from work - next time I'll scrub my face and roll around in the parking lot a bit before going in so I look acceptable for OP.

LOL THIS!!

I come straight from work so I have a full face of makeup on....yes I sweat during my workout but I have a towel I wipe my brow with...so, my lip balm and mascara aren't going anywhere. I text and fill out MFP at the gym....maybe I might take a pic if I hit a milestone or something. Unless I coming over and rubbing my face on YOU, while photographing it, why do you care?

*takes notes*

do wash vajayjay (from previous thread)
do NOT shower (from previous thread)
do NOT take selfies (from current thread)
do NOT wear push up bra (unsure what to do about the fact that it always LOOKS like I'm wearing a push up bra)
do NOT log times of workouts or amounts of weights on phone lest someone think I'm instagramming
do NOT be in the way of OP
do wash off mascara
do wear waterproof makeup
do NOT wear any make up
do go after work with no time to remove make up (must get job first)
do NOT look at anyone lifting anything
do look at men at the gym
do NOT look at women at the gym

Sounds legit.

Where is that people pleaser thread again?


ETA:
do NOT workout in Wisconsin
do NOT play Twisted Sister on MP3 Player
do not stand around ever because it's "rude" to polite people and forces them to post a post instead of saying "excuse me" to me.


it always looks like you're wearing a push-up bra? LUCKY! It takes most of us push-up bras to even keep these puppies up at a normal level.. hahaha

I've never looked at anyone in the gym. I used to take off my glasses so I couldn't see, then I got laser so now I close my eyes once I get to the machine I need...

I go to the gym both to exercise and because I like it, exercise is okay, not a huge fan, what keeps me in the gym is beating my "high score" on the cross trainers or bikes, or whatever I'm using, and it's a place where you can really listen to music. Not to go and see what anyone else is doing and certainly not how they look. I'm a girl and I wear a sports vest and men's PJ's for exercising, good isn't how I'd describe how I look. It's a place where you can go, be by yourself, get lost inside your own space and sweat out all your frustrations. You are spoiling it for yourself by letting things annoy you.

When I had my intro to the gym and had my one on one with a trainer, she was completely plastered with make up, the works, even fake lashes. And she was the sweetest girl, really put me at ease, and she was a knock out. She is always exercising in there too, with a full face. She wore make up because she has always worn make up because she is incredibly self conscious, and if she didn't have the make up on, she simply wouldn't have the confidence to do her job to the best of her capabilities. So it's best not to judge.

Posers are annoying in all walks of life, best to just let them do their thing. Granted you can't have a proper conversation with them at the best of times, but generally they're really nice, harmless and if it gets them the rippling man of their dreams, I suppose they got what the paid for with their gym membership

:huh:

girls in the gym WEARING MAKE UP!!!!! omg!

It pisses me off that they wear clothes at the gym.

I do not give a flip what a woman or man wears to the gym. I'm there to improve myself. Concerning myself in the affairs of others will not help me.

This is still going on?:noway: :huh: :yawn:

This is still going on?:noway: :huh: :yawn:

Yeah, apparently, when it finally looks like it's going to die (for example, having been dormant for 35 minutes), someone comes along and bumps it with a post that adds nothing to the conversation.

As for me? I will be greatly amused if this thread rolls.

Those people suck.

Even in my limited gym experience (weightlifting one semester in college and the occasional trip as a friend's guest), I've seen, and been annoyed by, the people the OP is talking about. A few minutes after they walk past, you can still taste the perfume. You glance at a mirror to check your form and they are in front of you, chest and butt stuck out, stomach sucked in, and making a duck face while snapping photos. You go over to the treadmills to finish your workout and there she is again. There are 2 empty treadmills on either side of her because of the wall of noxious fumes. She has the treadmill set to the lowest speed, lowest incline and still stops every minute or two to adjust her bra, toss her hair, or send a text. And unless you like the taste of the new Justin Beiber perfume, there's not an open treadmill. And at least in the places I've seen, these girls are generally thin but not fit. If you're in a small gym, this is incredibly annoying. That is what the OP is talking about. The girls who go simply to be seen and flirt but not to do anything that could possibly be considered exercise.

bumping just to see this thread roll...
